Emergency Precautions
Tires
When replacing tires, be sure to equip 
all four tires with the same size, type, 
tread pattern, brand and load-carrying 
capacity.
 WARNING
Do not use tire and wheel with different 
size and type from the one originally 
installed on your vehicle. It can affect 
the safety and performance of your 
vehicle, which could lead to steering 
failure or rollover causing serious injury.
In an emergency situation, a compact 
spare tire may be used. But, do not use 
the compact spare tire continuously. 
Repair or replace the original tire as 
soon as possible to avoid failure of the 
differential or AWD system.
 WARNING
ORG3060019
Never start or run the engine while a 
vehicle is raised on a jack. The vehicle 
can slip or roll off of a jack causing 
serious injury or death to you or those 
nearby.
Towing
AWD vehicles must be towed with 
a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed 
equipment with all the wheels off the 
ground. For more details, refer to 
"Towing" section in chapter 8.
Vehicle inspection
•  If the vehicle needs to be operated on 
a vehicle lift do not attempt to stop 
any of the four wheels from turning. 
This could damage the AWD system.
•  Never engage the parking brake while 
running the engine on a car lift. This 
may damage the AWD system.
